Software Santa says he doesn't mind that he finds all this great stuff over at Tech Support Alerthttp://www.techsupportalert.com/ and drags it back over here. He has made good suggestions to them, for inclusion in their lists, so it goes both ways. Software Santa freely admits he stands on the shoulders of Giants like Gizmo & Staff at TechSupportAlert, or the folks at Softpedia, or all the busy coders over at SourceForge - and offers his thanks, and bug reports, and occasional donations.

The Emsisoft Emergency Kit contains a collection of programs that can be used without a software installation to scan and clean infected computers for malware.

Emsisoft Emergency Kit Scanner

With the Emsisoft Emergency Kit Scanner you have got the powerful Emsisoft Scanner including graphical user interface. Search the infected PC for Viruses, Trojans, Spyware, Adware, Worms, Dialers, Keyloggers and other malign programs.

Run the Emsisoft Emergency Kit Scanner with a double click on a2emergencykit.exe. Found Malware can be moved to quarantine or finally deleted.

Emsisoft Commandline Scanner

This scanner contains the same functionality as the Emergency Kit Scanner but without a graphical user interface. The commandline tool is made for professional users and can be used perfectly for batch jobs.

To run the Emsisoft Commandline Scanner, do the following actions:

- Open a command prompt window (Run: cmd.exe) - Switch to the drive of the USB Stick (e.g.: f:) and then to the folder of the executable files (e.g.: cd run) - Run the scanner by typing: a2cmd.exe

Next you will see a help page describing all available parameters.

Next is an example to scan drive c:\ with enabled Memory, Traces (Registry) and Cookie scan with active Heuristic module and archive support. Found Malware is moved to quarantine.

a2cmd.exe /f="c:\" /m /t /c /h /a /q="c:\quarantine\"

Emsisoft HiJackFree

HiJackFree helps advanced users to detect and remove Malware manually. With HiJackFree you can manage all active processes, services, drivers, autoruns, open ports, hosts file entries and many more. For your full control over your system.

Emsisoft BlitzBlank

BlitzBlank is a tool for experienced users and all those who must deal with Malware on a daily basis. Malware infections are not always easy to clean up.
